Description
This book provides the reader with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres.
It is based on the newly adopted international IEC79 Series of Standards that are now harmonizing and replacing older national Standards.
Explosion-proof installations can be expensive to design, install and operate. The strategies and techniques described in this book can
significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety. The book explains the associated terminology and its correct use - from Area
Classification through to the selection of explosion-protected electrical apparatus, describing how protection is achieved and maintained
in line with these international requirements. The IEC standards require that engineering staff and their management are trained effectively
and safely in Hazardous Areas, and this book is designed to help fulfill that need. A basic understanding of instrumentation and electrical
theory would be of benefit to the reader, but no previous knowledge of hazardous area installation is required.
Audience
Professional engineers, Specialist students, Anyone involved in design, specification, installation, commissioning, maintenance or documentation
of industrial instrumentation, control and electrical systems, including: Electrical Installation Technicians, Instrumentation and Control
Engineers,
Electrical Engineers, Instrumentation Technicians,
Design Engineers, Other technicians and non-engineers working in potentially
explosive areas
